Discover the charm of the Apple Delight Salad, a delightful blend of crisp Honeycrisp apples, succulent grapes, and crunchy nuts, all enveloped in a creamy dressing. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for picnics, family gatherings, or a refreshing side dish to rejuvenate your mealtime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Honeycrisp Apples, cubed
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Toss the cubed apples with the lemon juice in a large bowl. The lemon not only enhances the flavor but also prevents the apples from browning.
  2. Whisk the mayonnaise and brown sugar together in a separate bowl until the mixture is smooth, ensuring that the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add the lemon-coated apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries into the bowl containing the dressing. Stir the ingredients gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
  4. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a more cohesive and flavorful dish.
